Ineffable ~ Good Omens One Shots

Devil In The Garden (Reverse AU) [fluff] -Ineffable Husbands-

A/N: Y'all better go read Odd Timings because it's finished now and I've started Ballad of the Damned. You'll like it. There's an asexual lesbian demon, an angel who's in love with a human, a lesbian witch who's the reason everything doesn't fall apart, and a very lovely human who's damned. Anyways, lemme get on with this.

Ariel Crawley had never seen such a beautiful boy in his life. No, this boy was something else. For one, he was a demon, and demons most certainly had to be thwarted.

Except this one was too cute to thwart.

All day Crawley had been staring at the demon in the garden. He was eating. Eating grapes, bananas, peaches and pears... and of course, the forbidden fruit, apples. In fact, he even got the two humans in existence to try apples. The only thing they couldn't eat, they were munching on.

"Shocking, he's better than he looks."

Crawley walked out towards him. Aflame sword in hand. "I saw what you did."

He pointed the sword at the demon. "Back there. I saw everything."

The demon looked down the end of the sword. "Oh?"

"Yeah!"

"Well, it was an awfully tasty fruit. Now they know things I suppose. It's funny though. What's the whole point? Knowing the difference between good and evil seems a little... Irrelevant."

Crawley growled, "It's not your place to question."

The demon stood up. He started to pace away.

"Where are you going?" Crawley asked. He put the sword back in his sheath.

The demon said, "I feel like going for a walk. Care to join?"

Crawley sauntered up beside him. "I suppose I will. Best know the enemy. So, you got a name?"

The demon arched an eyebrow. "You can call me... Azzie!"

"Azzie the Devil of Eden."

Azzie smirked, "I like that."

Crawley smiled warmly. He walked along side Azzie in silence for a while. At some point he realized Azzie was following him. The two of them walked right to the door.

Crawley started to push Azzie out. "Shoo, demon."

Azzie was rather weighted though. He wasn't going anywhere. "No, I think you're stuck with me."

"I need you out."

"No."

"Yes."

"Absolutely not. I'm staying here. Who would want to leave?"

"Nobody, it's paradise. I need to get rid of the man and the woman though."

Azzie exclaimed, "That will be fun! Let's do it together!"

"No, it's my job."

They did end up doing it together though. And after that, Crawley decided the demon was useful to have around. That started a century old friendship.

Now, the two sit in the Ritz. Azzie is finishing devil's food cake, and Crowley (formerly Crawley) is watching him. He loved watching Azzie eat. It was like food was made for him.

"Scrumptious."

"So what's after this?" Crowley asked.

Azzie wiped off his mouth before speaking. "I suppose I'll go back to The Rat's Nest."

The Rat's Nest is what he calls his antique store. It's mostly filled with old books, but has various other junky components. He's open 24 hours a day, but usually nobody comes in so he just takes off and leaves sometimes. He could try his best to sell anything, but nobody wants to buy any of it. He can't even give anything away. It's now just mostly a storage place for all his "neat" stuff.

It's also a place to take Crowley back to, where they can be alone.

Crowley sat in an old rickety rocking chair. He liked the rock of this one. It's not like any new rocking chair. A rock like this could never be replaced. It was just old and wore down. Nobody wanted it in Azzi's island of misfit toys. Something about that made Crowley happy. He wouldn't want it gone anyways.

Azzie's was making tea for two. It was peach tea, boiled in an old kettle. It always tasted best in that kettle. Once it started screaming, Azzie poured the tea. He put two sugar cubes in each.

"Lovely."

He brought the tea out to where Crowley was sitting. "Here you go, angel," he muttered as he placed the tea down in front of Crowley, "Just for you."

"Should I thank you?" Crowley asked. He raised an eyebrow and let his sun glasses drop down, revealing his feline-like eyes. They were yellow with black slits in the middle.

"Best not," Azzie sighed, "I know you appreciate me anyways."

He kissed Crowley's forehead. He caused the strawberry blond angel to blush.

"Azzie."

"Yes?"

"I love you."

Azzie smiled. "I love you too."

Crowley grabbed Azzie's well manicured hand. "Nobody's going to take me away from you."

"I'd hope not," Azzie spoke, "We've been through everything together."

Crowley nodded and snapped his fingers. He grew a lovely flower for Azzie. He then tucked it behind his ear. "For you, my dear."

"Ah, thank you... Ariel" he said before sipping his tea.

"Ngh~" Crowley groaned, "Where'd that come from?"

"It's your name, isn't it?"

"I suppose so."

"I just wanted to see your reaction," Azzie laughed. He kissed Crowley's cheek.

"Oh alright foul fiend," Crowley sighed before sipping his tea.

"Hmph."

"Old menace."

"Flattering," Azzie spoke.

"Wiley devil."

"Oh?"

"Mmhm."

Azzie bursted out laughing, "You really get me sometimes, angel."

"I know I do," Crowley said. He had a smile plastered on his rosey cheeks.

Azzie squeezed his hand and said, "I'm so lucky to have you."

"I'm the lucky one. I found you. There in Eden, munching on fruits. I've been stuck with you ever since."

Azzie blushed. "Well I've got the Angel of The World here with me."

"You are my world, Azzie," Crowley whispered before kissing him.

Azzie smiled against the kiss. "You're my universe."

They kissed again. Soon they forgot about the tea, because they were so wrapped up in each other. Hands holding each other, lips working in unison, and eyes meeting so close. Nobody could take this away from them. Nobody could even try, because love holds for centuries, especially a love like this.
